If it's a farmstead that's not part of a larger settlement, hermit might work.

Grand Lodge

It was going to be a smaller town like Solace (or actually Solace, if that is where we are starting). I don't think that hermit will work because their ability is based on learning a secret, while Urgo is not really the "learned" character.

I was thinking Outlander, but he shouldn't really be the "self-sufficient" character either. I think he would be very dependent on others or working in town...

Thanks for the suggestion though... ^_^

EDIT: DM, can I use the background feature of this Farmer background? Everything else will be the same as Folk Hero.

Link


This is Urgo, complete with a link to the character sheet on Google Docs. Let me know if I cannot use the farmer background from that link, and if not, I will change it.

Lantern Lodge

I am fine with that, with the exception of a total of 5 companions which brings it in line with the power of Outlander.

Favored Enemy: Humans, Dwarves
You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all. You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language, at 6th and 14th level. As you gain levels, your choices should reflect the types of monsters you have encountered on your adventures.

When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you’re proficient in. While traveling for an hour or more in your favored terrain, you gain the following benefits:

• Your group can’t become lost except by magical means.
• Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
• If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
• When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
• While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area. You choose additional favored terrain types at 6th and 10th level.

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Beginning at 3rd level, you can use your action and expend one ranger spell slot to focus your awareness on the region around you. For 1 minute per level of the spell slot you expend, you can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain): aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. This feature doesn’t reveal the creatures’ location or number.

Background


Moondancer is all done, background and appearance added to alias, along with updated equipment (added some silvered weapons, potions and alchemical supplies).


Except that Outlander does not have a limit of one week's provisions. :)

Lantern Lodge

Urgo, true but I was going to give you the option to refill as needed as long as you did a days work on a farm.

Going to go to Adventurer's League then make a decision, so far it looks pretty easy (lots of interest few characters submitted).


Understood. I was considering that with with the oncoming war, farms that are not razed or captured would be getting scarcer and scarcer... ;p

By the way, is there a reason there's not a separate recruitment thread? I bet a lot of people who would be interested are seeing a long "interest check" thread and thinking it's either already come and gone or else that a recruitment thread is forthcoming, and therefore haven't submitted characters.

Lantern Lodge

Figured anyone interested would have joined. I will make another thread to recruit more if the party would like. I am going to take

Urgo the Mistunderstood
Moon-Dancer
Beliminorgath
Larissa Galandol

I would add Vic Lofliss but he has not checked into this thread in days. I will give him until friday.

In the meantime, I will open up a discussion thread. I need to know how everyone knows each other and if you would like me to recruit more, and if so how many more would you like. I am comfortable with the 4 or 5 this party is comprised of but I do not want more than 6.


I wonder what happened to all of those people that expressed interest? ^_^


Sorry i've been dealing with work, family and health issues. Can i still submit


Are you still looking for players, I love DL!

Grand Lodge

Am curious if this is the case...

Lantern Lodge

Yes, looking for 1 more player.


What spot do you need to fill?


I would like us to have one human, because we don't have one in the bunch, though we have two halves... :p


Class wise we have a Bard (College of Lore) , a Fighter (Champion), a Ranger (Hunter), a Fighter 2/ Wizard 1 and Rogue (Arcane Trickster).

Lantern Lodge

Someone to take the role of cleric when divine magic is restored would be great.

What would said character do until divine magic is restored? Would they be a cleric class with no spells?


Would they worship misakal or any of the other gods of light?


Just FYI, I was planning on picking up a level in life domain cleric when the plot progresses to that point, as well as picking up some healing spells with my bard spells known (something I avoided for story reasons so far). So you could go with a more martial bent (paladin, fighter/cleric, etc.) and not have to worry as much about the healing end of things. Maybe start as a fighter and see if the boss will let you swap out some levels for paladin or cleric later?


I would not mind being the healer in the group. I like Goldmoon I'm just wondering if I would have to worship Mishakel or could the character be the first revered child of Paladine?


What benefits would reading the disks of mishakel give in this edition? Are you planning on doing all if the DL modules?

Lantern Lodge

You could worship whomever you like. I am planning on starting with the first one. If all goes well, I would move to the second and so on but I am not making a commitment to run all of them. Just one at a time.

You would not have any divine spells or be able to channel your divinity powers until you have read the disks of mishakel.


Let me take a look through the PHB. I have never done 5th edition and want to see what I can come up with.


Do you know of a good fillable sheet that will help me through the process?


You can start with this.


If you want some healing ability outside of divine magic, the Healer feat (I think that's what it's called) is pretty solid. You'd have to be a variant human to be able to start with it, though.


I am thinking of playing a half-elf of Qualanesti descent.


That sheet isnt much help. :(


I don't understand what you need. It is a form-fillable character sheet. Isn't that what you asked for?


I was thinking of something almost Herolab like.


Oh, sorry, I don't have anything like that... :(

Lantern Lodge

Yeah, I do all mine in Word, so I wouldnt be able to help you.


Never having played 5e I'm a little unfamiliar with how to do it.


Well, you could use this site to walk you through, though it is a little more restrictive. No half-elf, but it walks you through building a character. Use the DM's rules listed early on in this thread, and you will have the four main classes available to you in the basic rules.

Half elf stats: Cha +2, two other ability scores raised by +1 each, Base speed 30', Darkvision 60', Fey ancestry: advantage on saves v. charms and can't be put to sleep by magical means, Proficiency in two extra skills of your choice, and Languages you start with Common, Elvish, and one of your choice.

I hope that helps to get you started.
